The opening for Lorenzo Gabanizza’s single “You’re Not There” is a little misleading. A brief swell of synthesizers, however, soon gives way to a smooth mid-tempo pace carried by drumming and guitar. The former lays down an authoritative and recognizable groove while the latter unwinds compelling melodic lines over the top. Few will mind that

You guys are really unique! Where does that come from? Edem: Living life and being lucky. As artists and musicians, we channel all our conscious and subconscious thoughts, emotions, and acumen into our art. It’s what we do. It’s natural and necessary for us. We serve. Brett: I’m glad to hear you think we’re unique. Life would
India is a country that has experienced something of a restorative and revitalized period in recent years. The region continues to see growth in a variety of ways. In Kiara Chettri, we may have found one of India’s best kept secrets, until now. With an Ariana Grande/Christina Aguilera like vocal range, Kiara Chettri is only
You don’t need oversized basslines to give a muscle-bound melody a little extra kick, but that doesn’t mean you can’t exploit them for everything they’re worth much as ALYST and Affluent Oscar Sanchez do in their new single together, “Gleeming.” Although I’ve been going for more stripped-down low-end mixes in the last year, mostly due
How would you classify your overall style of music on your “Devotion” CD? Upbeat Devotional World Dance Pop. A mouthful, I know. But I’ve actually created a new genre here which doesn’t fit into the current pigeon holes. I’m waiting for the music industry to catch up with me! 🙂 Who would you say influenced
Marla Lewis is anything but predictable. The idea that someone with an established reputation as a performer of children’s material would take an one hundred eighty degree turn into smooth jazz would likely produce an incredulous reaction from any sane listener. Lewis, nonetheless, proves she is a bit of a stylistic chameleon with the ability
Rob Alexander is an experienced medical profession by trade but listening to his third solo album Dream Out Loud and its latest single “Olivia” makes a strong case that his life is off-course. We must assume the Florida native is only a part-time singer/songwriter at this point, so let us hope he makes so much money that
1st Klase, AKA Klase Gonzales, released his sophomore album “Trapikal Gawd II” on September 17th. 1st Klase is a renowned Caribbean producer and songwriter, based in Trinidad and Tobago. The album explores different aspects of storytelling and sheds light on the lives of youth living in the Caribbean ghettos. It’s full of infectious Hip Hop
Rob Jankowski’s highly anticipated new film “Attached: Paranormal” is being released in over 60 countries OnDemand via Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft, The Dish Network and Google Play on October 26th, 2021. Rob Jankowski is a triple threat in this Paranormal/Horror Thriller, as writer, director and star of this new entry in the genre. Jankowski’s
Hi Gotaflika, thanks for chatting today. Let’s start with a tough question, what is your favorite song that you’ve made to date? All my songs are my favorite but I can say to you that the most favorite one has not been written yet. What has been the highlight of your music career so far?
For Tarah Who?, volume isn’t so much a means to an end but an all-out priority, and in their new single “Supposedly a Man,” they prove that they can be loud and proud – but no sloppy about it. Too often in the past year have I come across a new heavy rock act that
A cresting drumbeat and soft but searing vocals are ready to come undone shortly after pressing play on the new single “Overwhelming” from rock artist Riku, but while the chemistry they have in this intro to the song is quite stirring, I would be lying if I said it eclipsed that of the lyrical and
Wendy Stuart and Steven Bloomer-Teague will be hosting TriVersity Talk this Thursday at 7 PM ET with featured guest Michael Iannucci. TriVersity Talk! is a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. With TriVersity Talk!, the goal is to laugh and learn.

Hi Jared, we appreciate you taking the time to chat with us today. Tell us about your journey in music so far. It’s my pleasure! Thanks so much for having me. My music journey has been circuitous at best. Geographically, I grew up on the prairies of central South Dakota and subsisted on a steady
“WTF? Where’s the Fun?” is the latest single from songwriter/vocalist Vineet, a performative polymath of a kind who’s never heard a musical genre he doesn’t like. We haven’t heard a heavy metal track from Vineet yet though and probably never will. His funk driven new single never sounds like an uncomfortable stab into foreign territory,
Music like this is medicine right now. The world thinks it begin coming up for air after drowning for over a year only to be swept away, at least in part, by unseen waves. There’s no doubt countless families and individuals are reeling from unthinkable losses. A song entitled “Happiness” for some, may sound like
Arkansas’ Pamela Hopkins has taken the path less traveled to this place in her life. She released her first album of original songs in 1995, a figurative lifetime ago, and didn’t follow it up for twenty-three years. Hopkins, in the interval, prospered pursuing careers in education and law enforcement. However, the clarion call of music,
Monsieur Job is one of the biggest names in the Colombian music community right now, and if you’re even a moderate fan of the work they’ve submitted to date, the new album W.T.F.! is something you need to get your hands on a lot sooner than later. It almost feels inaccurate to call W.T.F.! an LP when, in reality,
A jaunt of a song. A steady beat fueled with heart and soul – the new track, “Do You Think That I’m A Fool” from singer/songwriter Caroline swells with desire and catchy vibes. For anyone that has been misjudged, pigeonholed, overlooked or even mistreated, “Do You Think That I’m A Fool” exudes sweet redemption. A
Big harmonies can occasionally serve as the exclusive backbone of a smart pop single, and in the new track “Superhero – EDM Remix” from Priceless Lion, they’re second only to the song’s lyricism in terms of expressiveness. Although there’s a sonic depth to be considered in the instrumentation, this is a single that features so
There are really only two ways of working a retro element into your sound these days if you’re in pop music; either describing your old guard influences with imagistic lyricism or embodying the energy of a classic era through the tone of your performance. I wasn’t quite sure which group Chesca belonged in before listening
Lazily glaring at us from beneath the shadows, the guitar strings that introduce “Trump Funk” are no greater an instrumental force than those they will come to be joined by in this prime cut off of Head Fake Vs Dub Fu Masters, but the early glimpse into cerebral madness they provide is irreplaceable here. Head Fake
As much as a beat can convey on its own, big rhythm tends to respond even more to a powerhouse vocal than it does something on the softer side, and it’s hard to argue with that in the new single “Down Crazy” by Gigi Vega. Stylistically resembling hip-hop’s poppier side whilst borrowing melodic frills from
How do you want to make a difference with your music? We want to help people learn to heal themselves. Do you keep someone or something in mind any time you’re writing new material? I breathe as deep as I can, that way I can let the song come out of me with ease. Is
The endless reach of Daft Punk will almost certainly never see an end to the ripples the duo has caused. One of the most prolific and influential groups of all time, full stop, Daft Punk finally called it quits earlier this year in a move that shocked millions — the music is forever, even if
Navigating the ridges of a stirring rhythm in “Your Story,” it becomes clear to the listener early on in this selection from Let the Light In, Vol. 2 that we’re not dealing with the Chris Donohoe of the 2010s anymore. This singer/songwriter isn’t much for the flashiness of his mainstream rivals, and when given the opportunity he
Billy Jeter’s passionate vision of the human experience, Shine Eye Landing, is going to be one of the defining works of his career, and a highlight for country and folk fans looking for something singing with heart this year. It’s a lean half-hour record that wastes no time and on a musical structure feels almost
What’s left for a musician to do when their livelihood is based on touring and the world shuts down with no foreseeable grand reopening in sight? For Louise Cappi, this demanded a return to the studio she hadn’t been in since 2017. A sophomore album was always in the cards, but the question of what
Just listening to Brooke Josephson’s singing can introduce you to the angelic qualities she has as an artist, but in the video for her new single “Rainbow,” these qualities are realized visually in a way that only complements the emotion in the song. While not quite as elaborate a document as the composition is on
Hi Viviane! Great to talk to you! You are from Brazil right?! Where all have you taught since you became a teacher? Yes, I am Brazilian, born and raised. I have taught in Portugal, Brazil, and the United States. What are some of the differences you have noticed in teaching in different countries? I have noticed
